What it is

Six friends in their twenties, Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Ross, live in and around two facing Manhattan apartments and spend their spare hours on the sofa at Central Perk, a coffee house. Jobs, dates, break-ups and Ross and Rachel's on-off romance fill ten seasons, and by the middle years the six have become a family.

Why it matters

A top-ten show in every season, it defined the hangout ensemble sitcom of the 1990s, won the 2002 Emmy for best comedy, and its finale drew about 52 million American viewers; reruns and streaming have found it new audiences ever since.
